Bayloom porcelain by Sergey Safonov
I’ve been covering porcelain toy art [tagged] for a while, and I even recently wrote a feature on customized Fabergé eggs. (Basically, I’m fancy, is what I’m saying.) Now my friend, Moscow-based artist, Sergey Safonov, has released his first porcelain figure. It’s Bayloom, the egg-shaped, fan-favorite from his Flirps character mini-series!

Sergey writes: “Bayloom is a little dweller from the Gooma universe.” In addition to the original resin character, he has now been produced as a glossy all-white porcelain figurine measuring 3 inches (8 cm.) tall. There are less than 50 porcelain Baylooms available. The limited edition piece is available through Sergey’s online shop for the affordable price of only $25 here!
A reunion of resins and porcelains by Sergey Safonov
I’m happy to have received an advance Bayloom, and you can see him here reunited with his resin doppelganger and Godot family friends. Bayloom and 6 other Flirps made their debut at this past DesignerCon in Pasadena. Sergey is now at work on Flirps series 2, as well as a new Moon Wanderer character. He promises future porcelain, and, spoiler alert: there may even be a functional object!
Click through to see Russian porcelain and French porcelain together. (Instagram filtering makes Bayloom look off-white, but both Bayloom and Frank Kozik’s Potamus, are pure as the driven snow white.) Porcelain Bayloom is available while supplies last here.
